What Goldmax runs, stated plainly
- Nine dry van services run on one asset-based fleet of 89 tractors and 120 trailers out of Elmhurst, IL and Dallas, TX.
- Full truckload and direct LTL move on Goldmax trailers only; LTL is loaded once at a Goldmax dock and delivered by the same driver, with no partner carriers.
- Drop-trailer pools are available in Chicago and Dallas and are sized to the customer’s daily volume from the 120-trailer fleet.
- Dedicated plant-site programs assign named drivers and equipment to a facility under a fixed weekly or monthly charge plus a variable component.
- Expedited freight is dispatched the same day in the Chicago and DFW metros; regional delivery is next day across nine Midwest states.
- Goldmax does not operate reefer or flatbed equipment.
Every way to move it, one fleet behind all of them
Every service below runs on our 89 trucks and 120 trailers with Goldmax drivers. Pick the one that fits the load; dispatch handles the rest.
01
FTL
Your freight alone on a 53' dry van, dock to dock, on one Goldmax truck. Chicago to Texas daily; nine Midwest states one day out.
02
LTL
Pallets for direct shippers ride on our trailers, on our lanes, beside freight from other direct customers. Never a partner line or a terminal you did not agree to.
03
Drop-Trailer
We park one trailer or many at your facility. You load on your clock; we hook and go. Pools in Chicago and Dallas from our 120-trailer fleet.
04
Warehousing
Seasonal storage and final-mile delivery for direct customers out of Elmhurst and Dallas, kept separate from our linehaul lanes.
05
Final Mile
Dock to door in the Chicago and DFW metros with no handoff at the end. The driver who left our yard is the one at your customer's door.
06
High-Value
Sealed at pickup, GPS tracked the whole way, never posted on a public list. $250,000 cargo insurance on every load.
What shipping direct with Goldmax means
